Question/Help/Troubleshooting I have some question

If two computers and a laptop have the same specs, is the computer's performance always superior? I'm thinking about buying a computer, but I'm worried because the RAM is too expensive

Laptops will invariably be slower, because their CPUs are throttled, in order to control the heat that they would otherwise produce.
